2020-21

I’m just going to sum up 2020-21 in this post since I’ve fallen short on blog posts. 

We moved to The Woodlands on May 23, 2020.

Phoebe started 9th grade in a new school district. At the beginning of the year, everyone did remote learning due to COVID-19. When they did return to school, they had to wear face masks. This made it hard for new friendships to develop, but Phoebe had Maya (her soon to be stepsister at the time). Then Maya had to leave TX and move to UT for the rest of the school year. Phoebe was on Strykers at Woodlands Elite, All Star Level 2. We traveled to Oklahoma, Georgia and Florida for competitions. In OK there was ice covering roadways, making it difficult for people to get an Uber to the airport. We called a taxi and we’re able to make it thankfully! Then the next weekend we flew to Atlanta, GA and we got stuck due to a bad freeze. We ended up flying to New Orleans and staying with Angel for a couple of days. 

For 9th grade, Phoebe’s grades weren’t top notch. She took 4 honors classes and one of them being Human Geography AP, which is a difficult course. She almost didn’t pass Geometry, but she pulled through at the last minute and got an 85 on her final exam. She wants to take on level classes in 10th grade and honors English. She is also attending workouts at cheer to try out for Majors, a level 4 team, per her coach’s recommendations. 

One Proud Momma 💕

Strykers didn’t hit today but they’ll come back and kill it tomorrow. This girl still wears a big smile on her face. She was finding the positive and I couldn’t be more proud. Be the light Phoebe! ✨

Watch the video of the girls running through the tunnel that we made after their performance and look at Phoebe’s face when she comes out. ❤️

Ready for All-Stars!

Each year that Phoebe was in an activity, except last year, we had a statuette made. Out of all the activities, her heart and spirit have always been in Cheer and Gymnastics. She’s going to try out for a higher level All-Star team this coming season. We received a call today that the gym will reopen soon and she was so happy to hear it! 💕 They’re not certain about the competition schedule yet since everything is still a bit chaotic, but she’s still happy. This momma is a bit nervous about the competition schedule since I have a demanding full time job, but I’m confident that we’ll find a way to make it work since it means so much to her. 

All is right again...

Phoebe is on the All Star competitive prep team this year, so she’s happy doing what she loves most, cheering.

Me and Mikey are back on track after my reckless posts a few months back.

Damian and his girls got back from Hawaii yesterday, after a 7 day trip. He brought a sea turtle picture back for Phoebe. 💕

He brought a waterfall pendant necklace back for me. Waterfalls are our thing since we saw a few in California. It is part of the Na Hoku Waterfall Collection. The 8 diamonds symbolize the 8 islands in Hawaii. He said they tried to show him an opal one that had different colors but he chose to stick with turquoise since it is closer to my birthstone. It is perfect. 🥰

We have a Woodlands Elite Soldier in the house!

Phoebe made the Soldiers All Star Prep Team at Woodlands Elite!! She would’ve liked a higher level but this is the only one they’re offering this season. So she’s excited to be part of a team and get a taste of competitive cheer. Show ‘em what you got baby girl! Mom & Dad are so proud of you! Love you stinker!!
